The fact that it's running on a web server should be irrelevant if
you're web server is setup correctly.

Well, it doesn't properly. It seems like overkill to use Net::Telnet
when the script is running on the system that the command should be
executed on. I would just like to be able to execute a command with a
different user ID.
The command above accomplished that. su called with a -c argument
gives you the ability to execute a command under the new ID. The
problem I have is getting the command output (and error) back so I can
return it the user.
If the only way I can do this is to create a telnet session, I suppose
I can do that, but because this will involve having packages installed
on the user's system (not my own) I'd really rather find a solution
that doesn't require it.

Something else occurred to me after I responded to your posting.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't su read from a tty,
not STDIN? Unless su is being run by root, aren't you going to get a
password prompt? Is this script going to be run as root? If this is
the case, what's wrong with a setuid script?

It asks you to configure several search paths when you run the
configure script. Try it and see.

Subject: Help with flatfile database
Message-Id: <34898CA9.6A46@woozy.com>
Hi,
I am relatively new to perl, I am writing a postcard script similar to
the one at http://www.virtualflorist.com. I have it all worked out
except for one annoying detail: There is a feature that emails the
sender to let them know that their "gift" has been recieved. The script
looks in the database for the variable $notice and if $notice="on" it
sends the email. I need to change the $notice="on" to $notice="off"
after the email has been sent once and I have no idea how to do this.
this is what I have now, which writes a new line instead of overwriting
the old line:
<SNIP>
if ($notice eq "on") {
¬ify;
}
sub notify {
chomp($date);
open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t") || die "Can't open $mailprog!\n";
print MAIL "From: \n";
print MAIL "To: $replyto\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Virtual Toy Picked up\n\n";
print MAIL "The toy you sent to $reciever, has been picked up on
$date. \n ";
print MAIL "\nThank you . \n";
print MAIL "The Toy you sent may be viewed at:\n";
print MAIL "http://www.your.com/get_card.cgi?$word\n";
close (MAIL);
}
{
open (FILE, ">>$cardfile") || die ("I am sorry, but I was unable to open
the file.");
@cards=<CARDS>;
&todayjulean;
$new_row .=
"$word~~~$from~~~$picture~~~$messages~~~$message~~~$caption~~~$replyto~~~off~~~$mail~~~$reciever~~~$today\n";
print FILE $new_row;
close (FILE);
}
The info for the variables has been parsed earlier in the script. Is
there a simple way to
just delete that one line and rewrite it??
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Robert

Oh, I see what you're looking for.
I believe that ActiveState is working on creating an "ActiveX" version
of Win32 Perl. That should enable you to embed it in apps created in
VB/VC++/etc.

Maybe.
But I doubt is has anything to do with Perl.
It's site and OS dependant, though. So even if the shell doesn't bite
you, you'll need to develop a way of dealing with that.
On some systems, mail goes right into the user's home directory.
On some systems, there is no mail.
On some systems, it's in /usr/spool/mail.
On some systems, it's in /var/spool/mail.
On some systems, you might want to try and suck it out of the sendmail
configuration. But that only applies (1) if they're using sendmail,
and (2) all the info you need is relatively easy to find.
You might consider checking in a Unix and/or Mail newsgroup, if that
hadn't become obvious yet. :-)
Good Luck,
Jeremy

Well, I'd start with downloading one of the popular Perl distributions
for Win32. The two I have experience with (ActiveState and Gurusamy
Sarathy's) provide installation routines that work quite well.

Please be more descriptive? What is "it" and what are you doing? More
importantly, what are you TRYING to do (meaning what is your goal)?
Are you:
(1) Trying to install Perl?
- Which version?
- On what OS?
(2) Compile Perl?
- Which version?
- On what OS?
- With which compiler?
(3) Something else?

Uhm, you mean that a web browser is uploading a file to your Perl
script, which happens to run on the web server in question?
You've made it sound as if the Perl script is doing the upload. That
would imply that Perl is on the client, not the server...

Module questions should go to comp.lang.perl.modules.
Since this is NT specific (and Admin specific), your best bet is the
Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list, hosted by ActiveState Tool Corp

The following code does what you asked. You might consider a hash
of hashes instead of an array so you don't lose the [\d+] info.
use strict;
my @list = &readdata();
print join( "\n", keys %{$list[1]});

%$hash and push (@out, $hash);
$hash = {};
next LOOP;
}
s/^(\S+)\s*=\s*// and $$hash{$1} = $_;
}
%$hash and push (@out, $hash);
close (DATA);
return @out;
}

Thanks for all of the help, everyone.
Last night I was lying in bed, trying to think of a way I could do
this (with my limited knowledge of PERL, it took quite a while *g*)
I *knew* it would work... but it didn't.
I got it to insert the <A NAME="x">, according to the first letter of
the group's name, which wasn't a problem in the first place.
BUT, it inserts it for every occurance of the letter, so I get:
<A NAME="S"><B>genre</B><I>s-groupname</I><A
HREF="http://www.s-group.com">www.s-group.com</A>
<A NAME="S"><B>genre</B><I>s-groupname</I><A
HREF="http://www.s-group.com">www.s-group.com</A>
instead of what I want:
<A NAME="S"><B>genre</B><I>s-groupname</I><A
HREF="http://www.s-group.com">www.s-group.com</A>
<B>genre</B><I>s-groupname</I><A
HREF="http://www.s-group.com">www.s-group.com</A>
here is the code I have... I see no reason why it shouldn't work...
but hey, I'm still learning. excuse me if it's messy... I don't know
a lot about the language yet. ;)
--begin--
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open(INDB, "$ARGV[0]") || die "cannot open $ARGV[0]: $!";
@indb = <INDB>;
open(OUTHTML, ">$ARGV[1]") || die "cannot open $ARGV[1]: $!";
@outhtml = <OUTHTML>;
foreach (@indb) {
chomp;
($genre, $group, $url) = (split / /)[0,1,2];
# $genre = "<B>$genre<\/B>";
&genre;
$group = "<I>$group<\/I>";
$aurl = "<A HREF=\"$url\">";
$url = "$url<\/A>\n";
$url =~ s/http:\/\///g;
print (OUTHTML "$genre","$group","$aurl","$url");
}
close(INDB);
close(OUTHTML);
sub genre {
foreach $letter (A..Z) {
if ( $group =~ /^$letter/i && @outhtml !~

$genre = "<A NAME=\"$letter\"><B>$genre<\/B>";
} elsif (@outhtml =~ /<A NAME=\"$letter\">/i) {
$genre = "<B>$genre<\/B>";
}
}
}
--end--
If anyone could tell me what's wrong with this code (test it if you
don't quite understand what I'm getting at), it'd be much appreciated.
And if all else fails, I'll mess with the code that was posted in

You can get libdes that is developed in Europe and install it on your

Any decent C compiler on NT can fork(). If you do not need sockets,
you may use perl_.exe from OS/2 port with RSX (or RSXNT?) (I still do
not know whether RSXNT is applicable, and whether sockets will start
to work with the newest RSXNT 1.4).

Subject: Re: search operator question
Message-Id: <3489DF66.E6A3DF42@bellsouth.net>
Perl does variable substitution before it ever attempts the regex
match. So, when you have +,*,?, etc. in your $word_to_match it is taken
as part of the regex. To fix it, you need to perform a bit of
preprocessing on the $word_to_match to escape all characters that are
used in regex. You could escape the +,*,? by using the following
substitution:
$word_to_match =~ s/([\+,\*,\?])/\\$1/g;
Check your perl man pages on regex or look it up in the camel book for a
complete list of the regex symbols you'll need to escape.
Hope it helps.

Actually, perl lets you do even better than that. Try:
$word_to_match = quotemeta $word_to_match;
And that way, you don't have to look up all the potentially troublesome
symbols! (And if things change in Perl 6, you can bet that quotemeta will
mutate to still Do the Right Thing (tm). Isn't it nice to work with an
carefully, thoroughly, and intelligently designed system? :-)
% perldoc -f quotemeta
=item quotemeta EXPR
=item quotemeta
Returns the value of EXPR with all non-alphanumeric
characters backslashed. (That is, all characters not matching
C</[A-Za-z_0-9]/> will be preceded by a backslash in the
returned string, regardless of any locale settings.)
This is the internal function implementing
the \Q escape in double-quoted strings.
If EXPR is omitted, uses $_.

Use the following:
if ($string_line =~ /\Q$word_to_match\E/)
The problem is, + is a regex metacharacter, a quantifier meaning "one or
more of whatever precedes". Thus a + at the beginning of a string, or two
in a row, makes no sense to the regex engine, and it aborts.
The \Q ... \E contruct automatically escapes all funny characters with a
backslash, so the regex engine doesn't treat them in any special way.

Well, it certainly sounds like Perl is the tool for the job. Have you
begun yet? If you're really new to Perl, you may want to check out a
copy of the book "Learning Perl" from O'Reilly & Associates
(www.ora.com).

If you've run across specific problems or can't figure out how to

"great" compared to what?
If it's anything like his web site (and the "why don't I reinvent the
wheel AGAIN" type scripts that he releases), I doubt that it's a
"great" book.
Just my 2 cents.

I haven't seen or heard of such a thing, which isn't to say that they
don't exist. But you may want to try searching the www.perl.com web
site, and maybe hitting a couple of the big web search engines.

But that doesn't stop you from trying, does it? :-)
Good Luck,

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
